{"product_id":"zoo-tails","title":"Zoo Tails","description":"One puff adder, one antelope, one crocodile – \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was the list of sick animals presented to Oliver Graham-Jones on his first day as a new vet at London Zoo in 1951. And his time at the zoo didn’t get any less strange or entertaining…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s the time he anaesthetized, and was then chased by, a gorilla; had to capture an angry polar bear in thick fog; performed a colostomy on a python; and fitted a raven in the Tower of London with a wooden leg. And if an animal escaped (more frequently than you might think) or required urgent medical attention, he was always on hand, ready for any eventuality. With his self-deprecating humour, Oliver frequently described himself as quaking with fear, but he was also skilful, brave and, most of all, incredibly caring and kind to his animal patients.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481613705589,"sku":"9780857502605","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780857502605.jpg?v=1786089894","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/zoo-tails","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
